Prior to the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando the Aurora Movie Theatre shooting was the largest mass shooting in U.S. History. The incident involved unprecedented police response and non-traditional life saving measures by responding law enforcement officers. The presentation will discuss the response, the aftermath, and the lessons learned.
